Killoe Young Emmets (Irish: Emmet Óg Cill Eo) is a Gaelic Football club based in Killoe, County Longford, Ireland. The club is also referred to by the Irish 'Emmet Óg' or by 'Killoe Emmet Óg'.[1] Organised Gaelic Games in the Killoe area can trace its origins back to 1889 with the foundation of the first club in the parish (Killoe Erins Pride). The Killoe Young Emmets club is first recorded in active competition in 1904 and has won 13 Longford Senior Football Championship titles and 1 Longford Senior Hurling Championship title. The club also has thriving Underage (Killoe Óg) and Ladies (Killoe) clubs.
History[]
The first GAA club in the Killoe area was founded in 1889 as Killoe Erin's Hope (soon renamed Killoe Erin's Pride). The earliest published record of a Killoe game was a tournament fixture between Killoe Erins Pride & Dromard O’Briens in Cornadrung in November 1889. The tournament in Colmcille included Drumlish Emmets, Mullinalaghta Leaguers, Arva Davitts, Cornafean Tom Moroneys, Killoe Erin’s Pride, Dromard O’Briens, Mullahoran Milesians, Ballywillan Michael Davitts and Gowna West Breffnies.
By 1905, all other Killoe clubs (Killoe Erin's Pride, Killoe McMahons, Soran O'Connells Sons, Killoe Young Erins Pride and Rhyne Hardy Rovers) had faded away, leaving Killoe Young Emmets (named after the Irish patriot Robert Emmet) as the only active Killoe club from that point. The earliest reference to Killoe Young Emmets is found in 1904. The clubs crest shows 1889 because that is the origin year for GAA in Killoe. The Club is based at Emmet Park with facilities including clubhouse, floodlit pitches, gym & meeting rooms which was officially opened by GAA President Peter Quinn in the company of then Taoiseach Albert Reynolds in June 1993.
